| Abstract | ||
| In the present study ,body mass index (SMI),serum lipid profile,e.g.,total cholesterol (TC) , triglycerids (TGs), high density lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL-C) , and low density lipoproteins cholesterol (LDL-C) were deterimined in serum of some university students lived in Minuf dormitory students. Minufiya university in order to evaluate the relationship between the above mentioned components and their food intake .The students either male or female were divided into two groups A and S. The results revealed that the average age for the sample under study was (21.0 ± 1.91 , 20.64 ± 1.69 years) for males group A,S and ( 20.80 ± 2.30, 20.92 ± 2.40years) for females group A,S respectively. The mean heightwas(173.11±8.05, 173. 82±8.34 cm) and (160.30± 5.85, 158.85 ± 5.23 cm) for both male and female group A,S respectively. Which was about 97.80, 98.20 % and 97.74, 96.86% of standard.The results indicated also that the average weight of males and females group A,S representing 112.01, 130.93 % and 118.97, 143.64% of standard. The mean of energy intakes for male recorded 4074.89 ± 304.20,4287.11 ± 483.13 kcal and while it was 2788.29 ± 513.47, 3290.73 ± 384.31 kcal for female students group A,S respectively. Energy intakes for all groups were higher compared with (RDA,1989).With respect to biochemical measurements of serum (TC), (TG) and (LDL-C ) were highly increased in females than those males, while HDL-C were higher in males than females .The results exhibited that female students may be subjected to the risk of atherosclerotic and coronary heart diseases (CHD) because of a high values of serum TC, TG and LDL-C than male students. The study recommended that the dietary modification and balance of diets must be taken into consideration. Regarding obese reduction of their energy intake with simultaneous promotion of physical activities and avoidance of sedentary life must be taken place for improving nutrition and health status of both male and female students. | ||
